Ladera Ranch

Ladera Ranch is a census-designated place and a planned community located in south Orange County, California just outside the city limits of San Juan Capistrano, Rancho Santa Margarita and Mission Viejo. Ladera Ranch is an affluent 4,000 acres master-planned community adjacent to Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and San Juan Capistrano. Located along Antonio Parkway and Crown Valley Parkway, construction of the community began in 1999 on portions of the O'Neill, Avery & Moiso families' 23,000 acres Rancho Mission Viejo cattle ranch, which was the largest remaining working ranch in Orange County.
